The secretion and the blood levels of the adrenal steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate ester (DHEAS) decrease profoundly with age, and the question is posed whether administration of… Continue Reading

Dehydroepiandrosterone (3 beta-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one, I) sulfate (Ia) has been characterized in the anterior and the posterior parts of the brain of adult male rats. Its level (1.58 +/- 0.14 and… Continue Reading

RU486 (mifepristone) has proved to be a remarkably active antiprogesterone and antiglucocorticosteroid agent in human beings. The mechanism of action involves the intracellular receptors of the… Continue Reading

Neurosteroids are synthesized in the central and peripheral nervous system, particularly but not exclusively in myelinating glial cells, from cholesterol or steroidal precursors imported from… Continue Reading

The observation was made that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), as the unconjugated steroid, and its sulfate ester (DHEAS) are present in the brain of adult male rats (1). This finding was unforeseen… Continue Reading

Pregnenolone sulfate (PREG S) is synthesized in the nervous system and is a major neurosteroid in the rat brain. Its concentrations were measured in the hippocampus and other brain areas of single… Continue Reading

Cells dissociated from newborn rat forebrains were established in long term primary cultures. The cultures were made up almost exclusively of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes, as confirmed by indirect… Continue Reading

Neurosteroids are synthetisized in the central and the peripheral nervous system, in glial cells, and also in neurons, from cholesterol or steroidal precursors imported from peripheral sources. They… Continue Reading
